Here's the middle two females in age in our female group of balls. Kyna who was an adoptee last summer and Rionach who we have raised since she was a baby ball in a pet store looking for a home.

Kyna's grown so much since July 05 when she was barely bigger than little Ri Ri. Now Rionach is a nice 690 grams but Miss Kyna has broken the 1,000 gram barrier and weighed out tonight at a firm 1,100. She's getting a little "attitude" with her growing up and has suddenly developed a huge feeding response (she was always good but a pretty gentle eater...not anymore LOL).

We don't normally allow much if any interaction between the snakes but for tonight I wanted a couple of pics of the two "middle snake children" together just to see how much Kyna has outgrown Rionach.

Kyna at 1,100 grams...don't know if the pic properly shows the really nice light yellow on her sides but it's quite different than any of our other females


Rionach stretching out in Mike's hands. She has always been a very socialized snake and a lovely female. We are really looking forward to seeing her babies one day. She has such a lovely refined shape to her head I hope it passes to her offspring one day.
